Hi, Thanks to all that have responded so far. First, let me apologize for not specifying that the KYB shocks I ordered are for the REAR. Major blunder on my part. But...Im still having trouble fitting these shocks to my van. The sleeves on the KYBs are about 1/8 inch longer than the sleeves on the 'old' shocks. I just cant seem to get them to fit. I guess I could hack off 1/8inch of the new sleeves, but would rather not. I have confirmed that the part number on the KYBs are the same as those that are supposed to fit 87 syncro vanagons.... I can tell that the fittings for my shocks are stock..havent been modified. Has anyone out there ordered KYBs for their syncros? Did you have size issues? Will hacking off some sleeve cause me problems down the road? Thanks again, Jeff |
